Hi. First time so hopefully I am doing this properly. Re the1944 movie "Gaslight", I have a 2 page Western Union letter from John van Druten who worked on the production. JVD at length talks about the collaborative project, director George Cukor, scenes and lines...including a discussion of a possibly ungrammatical line. Happy to mail this to you so you can input appropriate information into Wikipedia. You certainly know how to do that and I surely do not. I am Richardjcoyle@yahoo.com.
